Metalrex

Something about ingots from Nevada. The state has a rich mining history and many collectible ingots have come from this area of the country. I’ve always been a big fan of Metalrex ingots, out of Reno, NV. They came in sizes ranging from 1+0z (very scarce) to 25+ oz. They are not common by any means and have become very sought after by serious collectors. Below are a few from my collection.

Insane toner, 9.82 oz flat pour. This is a type 1 older variety 10 oz class with both hallmark and weight stamp on obverse.
This is dark with purples, oranges, greens. Killer piece.
Patina and pour lines.
5 oz class
Reverse of 5 oz.

Her’s a nice 10 oz example from Brian R’s collection. This is a type 2 10 oz. Note the differences from my 9 oz odd weight above. Thanks for sharing.

Great stamp.
Weight stamp on side of ingot.
Reverse of 10 oz.
